Its really easy to answer this question because someone asked me to do a how to on another forum so I can just copy and paste it here. I've seen this mod done many ways but this is how I did it I don't like getting into debates of what is better and all that crap so for those who done it differently more power to you. This is all my feeble mind could come up with.
Sorry but I had to go there because I've seen people trying to start debates that think only one way to do things. The cool thing about this stuff is get 10 of us in a room and at least 5 of us will do things differently. I find that cool, some people do not.lol IMO there is no right and wrong with metal working just the end results. I'm still working on those end results.Thank god metal is forgiving or I'd be in trouble.lol
1. I bought a 16 gauge 1 /58 u-bend exhaust pipe from jegs. One pipe will do
both rear corners. Just cut them in half to make them j-bends.lol
2. I used the pipe to see what material on the bed needed to be removed.
3. I cut the pipe in half and played with the fitment of the pipe until I achieved
the desired fit and I tacked it in place.
4. I used a piece of cardboard to make a template of the filler piece and
transferred that to 16 gauge sheetmetal and welded it in.
5. Grind the welds and its done
